So, it’s been a pretty quick pivot recently as you might’ve gleaned from my previous blog post – but I’m consolidating all my domains under a single jtiong.com domain name. And not wanting to throw away the hard work of Chubby Snorlax from my jtiong.games and jtiong.network domain names – I’ve begun slowly shaping the existing site you’re reading right now into what is called “Chunky Snorlax” – a similar theme (still following the Pokemon theme for things – Annie’s a big fan of Pokemon of course) with a twist, the “Chunky” nomenclature is because the site is just full of stuff from my other domain names.

True to form, it’s a darker themed site as usual – although there are some nicer features I’ve implemented including:

• Update to Bootstrap v5.3.8 which is the latest version
  • This also include Bootstrap Icons v1.13.1
• There’s now an image Lightbox overlay that I’ve tweaked for viewing images (for future posts going forward – it’d take me forever to update things retroactively sadly)
• There’s a more considered approach to the mobile version of the site now (tidier menus)
• There’s now a Tag Cloud (although I don’t know many people that browse that way?)
• Captions on images now appear with a frosted effect at the bottom of images too (FANCY!)

I’m hoping to keep this theme around for more than 12 months this time around, but I think going forward it’ll be less a “brand new revamp” and more of an evolution of design going forward as the needs of the site evolve too.

Chunky Snorlax is probably the most “complete” WordPress theme, I’ve built to date. There’s no doubt a lot of bugs and issues, and the theme itself is very simplistic, but it’s mine, and it’s built from scratch, warts and all 😄

Hope you all enjoy it 👍
